now what would happen if you starved

yourself

for seven days it sounds real scary and

some people associated starving with

dying but in reality

it would be the healthiest thing that

you can do for your body

in fact out of all the things you can do

for your health i don’t think there’s

anything that could compare

with what you could do

with just

fasting now i’m going to get into the

difference between fasting and starving

in a minute but if it is true that out

of all the things fasting can create

more health than anything else then by

logic it must also be true that frequent

eating will create the most health

problems that you could have and i think

that is true i mean take a look at how

many people eat frequently three square

meals snacks between meals grazing at

night

i think the majority of the population

is literally eating constantly

i mean i remember in practice there were

people that would be eating

so frequently they had to even get up in

the middle of the night and consume some

food or they would have blood sugar

issues i didn’t know back then that low

blood sugar problems

hypoglycemia

could be easily corrected

by not eating so frequently i was under

this assumption this false assumption

that you had to eat to

prevent hypoglycemia and there were just

certain people that had blood sugar

issues and that’s the way that you have

to handle it in fact people have

hypoglycemia or low blood sugar could

easily correct it by doing intermittent

fasting all right so how long could a

person live without water well about

three to five

plus days the person who took the world

record at surviving without food and

water lasted about 18 days but it wasn’t

a hundred percent uh he was thrown in a

jail and people forgot about him and the

only thing that he survived on as far as

liquids was the condensation on the cell

wall i really don’t know how much water

there is when you have condensation but

it’s probably not that much but he

lasted 18 days and someone did find him

so he didn’t die

and as far as someone living without

food the person who was in the guinness

book of world records lasted

382 days without eating any food

now he drank water tea coffee he took

vitamins electrolytes and he even

consumed yeast for his b vitamins and

for some amino acids a lot of people

don’t realize that

nutritional yeast is loaded with b

vitamins amino acids and trace minerals

so he lost a total of

276 pounds which is 125 kilograms he

started at 456 pounds and he went all

the way down to 180 pounds so we fasted

for over a year what you have to realize

is the average person who is not

overweight

has enough fat calories on them

survive quite some time they have about

a hundred thousand calories

so if a person roughly weighs 150 pounds

and they’re burning between one thousand

to two thousand calories per day they

have enough fat fuel to last about 67

days without food now what happens when

you stop eating

is that there’s some initial discomfort

between one and two days you might be a

little bit hungry because you’re not

used to it you haven’t adapted to fat

quite yet you might feel a little bit

weaker but if you had some salt

electrolytes with potassium you wouldn’t

be fatigued but very shortly by the

second and third day you would find that

your hunger would start to go away you

will no longer have an appetite now i

want to talk about the difference

between

starving your body

and fasting because a lot of the side

effects from starvation occur when

you’re not consuming nutrients so when

you’re doing fasting and the type of

fasting i’m going to recommend you’re

drinking enough fluids you’re taking

your nutrients you’re just not having

anything of substantial calories now the

body will start to starve

when it runs out of fat if you have

enough fat you’re not going to starve

because your body is going to live off

the fat as the backup fuel now when

you’re starving you have no more fat so

the body is going to go after its muscle

it’s going to eat up its muscle for fuel

and it’s also going to eat up its organs

but when you’re fasting

you’re going to just purely burn fat

this is its purpose i think just people

have not tapped into this because

there’s so much food available in fact

when you’re fasting your body protects

its muscles this is called protein

sparing your demand for amino acids in

repair goes way down your body becomes

very very efficient at what it does so

the main fuel with fasting is fat

calories the main fuel when you’re

starving is your own muscle calories and

organ calories

now when you’re starving your appetite

is just incredibly intense you’re going

to be hungry for everything and you’ll

pretty much eat almost anything but when

you’re fasting you have no appetite

because you are eating when you’re not

eating you’re eating your own fat

reserve and it’s a clean energy and you

crave nothing now with starving you’re

going to be very apathetic okay

but

when you’re fasting

your mood is

greatly elevated your emotions are

enhanced you feel euphoric so if you

haven’t seen uh one of my videos which

i’ll i’ll put at the end of this video

there is a gentleman who decided to

end his life he wanted to commit suicide

everything was going downhill he had

diabetes he had all sorts of issues so

he

went in his room and he stopped eating

for three days and it rebounded on him

because he started feeling better

emotionally physically to the point

where he started to go online and search

about fasting and it turned his life

completely around i’ll share that video

in a little bit like i said before

fasting is hands down

the most important thing you can do for

your health now when you’re starving you

have atrophy of the muscles but when

you’re fasting you get a huge spike of

growth hormone in fact if you compare

high intensity exercise with fasting

with exercise you’re only going to get

like a spike of growth hormone by 700

percent

but with fasting you can get a spike up

growth hormone by 2 000

and growth hormone is all about

muscle synthesis and growing muscles and

preserving muscles and with starving

you’re going to be highly irritable

you’re going to be grouchy just like you

see with people that have low blood

sugars but with fasting

people become very very

pleasant they have a great sense of

well-being they’re very nice to be

around they’re not angry people as i’m

going to share in this success story at

the end this man was very very angry all

the time and he just could not believe

how

uh that changed when he started doing

fasting it’s actually quite remarkable

now with starving there’s a major

cognitive decline your brain starts to

shrink you start losing focus you start

losing

memory you start losing concentration

you can’t concentrate but with fasting

you have what’s called neurogenesis you

start growing

new nerve cells you start growing a new

brain all sorts of very very cool things

like the brain neurotrophic factor

starts increasing and you become sharper

you have a better memory you have a lot

more focus you become a lot more

creative more aware i mean out of all

the things you can do what could come

even close to creating these amazing

effects

as compared to fasting i mean it’s just

mind-blowing the positive impact that

fasting can have

on every single part of your body now

with starving you’re going to be weak

you’re going to be tired but with

fasting you stay strong and you have

tons of energy i mean a good way to know

if you’re taking the right amount of

electrolytes b vitamins nutrition and

trace minerals while you’re fasting

is that you still have a lot of energy

during the day and you can still

maintain the same level of exercise

performance

as you do when you’re eating that is a

good indicator to know that you’re

taking the right nutrition now with

starving you have massive nutritional

deficiencies okay

you start having deficiencies in b1

that’s called beriberi severe severe

side effects from that

vitamin b3 pellegra your skin starts to

get all rashy and scaly

a lot of problems then we have scurvy

right no vitamin c you start becoming

extremely fatigued you start getting

bleeding gums

your connective tissue falls apart your

joints fall apart and then a vitamin d

deficiency rickets so this is where you

have

severe bone pain osteoporosis

you have very very weak bones not to

mention a severe problem with your

immune system you become susceptible to

viruses and bacteria and infections

very easily but with fasting your immune

system starts to become very very strong

in fact you start developing more

antibodies you start becoming resistant

to viruses and bacterial infection the

stem cells in your bone marrow start to

rebuild the immune system your body

starts going into this

self-regenerative recycling mode it’s

called autophagy where it takes all this

damaged the proteins that are clogging

everything up in your brain and your

arteries and your eyes and it starts to

recycle that into new cells so you start

becoming younger by recycling the old

waste and

with autophagy you are cleaning out old

dormant

viruses and bacteria

i mean how cool is that now with fasting

your antioxidant

networks are

improved so when you don’t eat your body

makes more antioxidants wow what a

survival mechanism with fasting your

insulin becomes more sensitive and if

you had a slow metabolism your

metabolism starts becoming stronger and

faster if you have metabolic syndrome

where you have high blood pressure that

tends to go away also with metabolic

syndrome you have a belly fat you see if

you ate nothing for seven days you would

lose at least 4.9 pounds of actual fat

now when you’re fasting your microbiome

the good bacteria in your gut

start to become very diversified they

start to live longer and you start

enhancing different strains

of friendly microbes so you strengthen

not just your microbiome but the

intestinal wall in your gut as well so

if you have leaky gut you have

permeability issues that all improves if

you have allergies those improve if you

have gut inflammation that improves all

inflammation in the body tends to go

bye-bye with fasting and that relates to

autoimmune diseases arthritis bursitis

tendinitis

anything related to inflammation and

pain if you have pain that goes away too

the detox

enzymes in your liver start to become

strengthened so your ability to detox

improves your cells ability to resist

stress

increases so your cellular tolerance of

stress improves so let’s say for example

you have cancer and you have to go on

chemo or radiation your cells resist

that toxicity more when you do fasting

when you fast you take someone from

being sympathetic dominant in flight of

fight mode to more parasympathetic

dominant where you’re calm and you’re

more relaxed and

to put the icing on the cake no pun

intended when you fast you kill off

cancer cells like crazy if you have a

tumor the tumor starts shrinking out of

anything you can do for cancer fasting

is the most powerful thing you can do

the only catch-22 with doing fasting for

cancer is that you have to have some fat

in your body to really do it effectively

but there are some things you can do if

you are thinned or frail and i’m going

to put that link down below related to

cancer so i hope i convinced you to do

more fasting not just intermittent

fasting but periodic prolonged fasting

you just have to make sure you take

enough nutrients while you fast i’ll put

those links down below but here’s that

video that i mentioned about the guy who

tried to take his own life

and just stop eating for three days

check it out
